Renaissance Releasing Symphony Of Light Next Month

03/20/2014.

(Prog) Renaissance have signed a distribution deal that will see last year's album Grandine il Vento re-released to a wider audience under the title Symphony Of Light, bundled with three additional tracks.

The new version will go on sale in physical and digital formats via Red River Entertainment on April 15. It's the band's last album to feature contributions by guitarist Michael Dunford, who died suddenly last year following a US tour.

Vocalist Annie Haslam admitted she struggled with the decision to carry on before recruiting guitarist Ryche Chlandra in Dunford's place. She told Prog: "It was such a shock. It took me several months to come to terms with it, then I realise it was my decision alone as to the destiny of the band." more on this story
